Little Angel

We were cooking for a party at the UEC kitchen the other day and this little angel showed up. He came to the Library with his friend, who comes very often. This is the first time they came together. As his friend spent an hour or so at the library, we got to interact with a little kid – Ivanka doing her part, too. What started with a simple hello, turned into a long conversation. Sharon (that’s his name) was very carefully instructing us as parents what Ivanka should and shouldn’t be allowed to do. He then offered to help us with cooking. Well, we had to train him how to peel potatoes for about thirty minutes, before he could do anything. It was an interesting experience.

We are glad that children come to the UEC even if they are just visiting with their friends or family. They will grow up and become our future one day (as Ukrainians like to say). I hope his future will be influenced by what we do at the Center. When he left, we gave him a Frisbee to play with as a gift. It was donated to the UEC by someone I don’t remember – so thanks, whoever you were, from this little guy.
